Fortunately as it pertains to guns my dad and uncle introduced me to guns the way it needs to be done: smart slow and safe.

My uncle's a lawyer and I remember going to see him in court and thinking 'That's cool too bad I could never be a lawyer.'

It's my firm conviction that when Uncle Sam calls by God we go and we do the best that we can.

The anger that Uncle Junior has comes from my background. My father was the son of an Italian immigrant and I've seen the fire of the Italian temperament. It can be explosive sometimes in ways that are both funny and tragic.

In truth I am a single mother. But I don't feel alone at all in parenting my daughter. Krishna has a whole other side of her family who loves her too. And so Krishna is parented by me but also by her grandmother and aunts and cousins and uncles and friends.
